Azo dyes from 2-amino-5-cyanomethylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazole and aniline and tetrahydroquinoline couplers

ABSTRACT

This invention relates to new azo dyes derived from 2-amino-5-cyanomethylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazole and aniline and tetrahydroquinoline couplers which may be extensively substituted. The dyes impart orange to violet shades on hydrophobic fibers, including polyesters, polyamides, and cellulose esters. They are of the particular interest for dyeing textured polyester fibers and have excellent properties such as fastness to light and sublimation.

This is a continuation-in-part application of Ser. No. 531,188, filed Sept. 12, 1983, now abandoned, which is a continuation of Ser. No. 315,107, filed Oct. 26, 1981, now abandoned.

This invention relates to new azo dyes derived from 2-amino-5-cyanomethylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazole and aniline and tetrahydroquinoline couplers which may be extensively substituted. The dyes impart orange to violet shades on hydrophobic fibers, including polyesters, polyamides, and cellulose esters. They are of the particular interest for dyeing textured polyester fibers and have excellent properties such as fastness to light and sublimation.

A preferred group of compounds of this invention have the formula ##STR6## wherein R₂ is H or alkyl; R₃ and R₄ are selected from hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl and alkyl substituted with aryl, acyloxy, cyano, carbamoyl, sulfamoyl, alkylamino, phenylcarbamoyloxy, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkoxycarbonyl, succinimido or phthalimido; X is CO, COO or SO₂ ; and R⁹ is as defined above.

The present dyes exhibit improvements in one or more properties such as fastness to light, sublimation, chlorine, heat, ozone, gas, perspiration, crock, and wash, build, pH stability, bloom resistance, depth of shade, leveling, strike rate, energy of dyeing, migration, and the like, over such dyes as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,639,384; 3,639,385; 3,738,802; 3,762,861; 3,453,556; 3,657,215; and 3,657,215.

The invention can be better appreciated by reference to the following examples:

EXAMPLE 1 Preparation of 2-amino-5-cyanomethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole

A mixture of 2-amino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (66.5 g, 0.50 mol.), and ethanol (500 ml) is heated to reflux and chloroacetonitrile (41.1 g, 0.55 mol.) is added dropwise at reflux. Heating is continued for four hours and then about 400 ml of distillate is removed using a Dean-Stark trap. The clear solution is cooled to about 75° C. and water (150 ml) is added, allowing the temperature to drop to about 50° C. After adjusting the pH to about seven by adding slowly a solution of Na₂ CO₃, the mixture is cooled to room temperature and the gray product is collected by filtration and washed with water. The moist filter cake is recrystallized from 300 ml of ethanol to yield the desired product which melts at 163°-164° C.

EXAMPLES 2-11 Diazotization and Coupling

To sulfuric acid (25 ml) is added sodium nitrite (3.6 g) portionwise with stirring, allowing the temperature to rise. The pale yellow solution is cooled and 100 ml of 1:5 acid (1 part propionic:5 parts acetic acid) are added below 15° C. To the chilled mixture is added portionwise 2-amino-5-cyanomethylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazole (8.6 g, 0.05 mol.) at 0°-5° C. After being stirred for 1.5 hours at 0°-5° C., the diazotization reaction mixture (0.005 mol. aliquot) is added to a chilled solution of each of the following couplers, prepared by dissolving 0.005 mol. of the coupler in 20 ml of 1:5 acid.

Example 2--3-Acetamido-N,N-diethylaniline

Example 3--3-Acetamido-N,N-di-n-propylaniline

Example 4--3-Acetamido-N-benzyl-N-ethylaniline

Example 5--3-Benzamido-N,N-di-n-propylaniline

Example 6--5-Acetamido-N-ethyl-2-methylaniline

Example 7--5-Acetamido-N-cyclohexyl-2-methylaniline

Example 8--3-Acetamido-N,N-dibenzylaniline

Example 9--50/50 Mixture of couplers of Examples 2 and 3

Example 10--7-Acetamido-N-ethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline

Example 11--N,N-Diethyl-3-methanesulfonamidoaniline

Ammonium acetate is added to the cold coupling mixtures until the mineral acid is neutralized (Congo Red test paper). After allowing to stand one hour, water is added to the coupling mixtures to precipitate the dyes, which are collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried in air. Any dyes which are not filterable solids are washed by decantation and dried in air. All of the dyes are crystallized from hot methanol for purification. The dyes color textured polyester bright red shades. For example, the dye of Example 1 has a visible absorption maximum (λmax) at 525 nm.
